Most modern computer transmitters will have a
gyro function built into them. If this is the case,
please refer to your transmitter’s instruction
manual. Most modern gyro functions will allow
you to set the mode of operation and the gains for
several flight conditions. The use of these func-
tions is strongly encouraged. Shown below is a
recommendation of settings:
Recommended Gyro
Function Settings:
Switch: Condition
Type: GY or AVCS
Gain Values
Normal: 70% A (AVCS)
Idleup 1: 40% A (AVCS)
Idleup 2: 40% A (AVCS)
Hold: 70% A (AVCS)
If your transmitter does not have a Gyro func-
tion built in then it will be necessary to use the
ATV or EPA function to control the gain. The
Gyro Gain channel will generally be assigned to
a switch which provides two gain values. Simply
set the ATV or EPA for the gyro channel to the
desired gain value and set the Gain Switch to the
desired mode of operation. Unfortunately since
you will only have one gain value available it will
be necessary to use the lowest value needed (for
example Idleup 2). When using this method of
controlling the gain, one direction of the switch
will be AVCS mode and the other direction of the
switch will be Normal mode. Always ensure the
gyro switch is set to the desired mode before y-
ing. Do not accidentally change the gyro switch in
ight.
